According to reports, LFP consumption of more than half from China, the reason why there is such a big demand, one of the reasons is that China's electric vehicle growth significantly.

In China, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the introduction of alternative fuels, is expected to pure electric vehicles (EV) and plug-in hybrids (PHEV) and other electric car market will remain long-term trend of development, using the battery is LFP.

Sandler Research reports that China accounts for about 40% of the global LFP market. In addition, LFP used rare metal lithium, the total output of about 95% from China.

Intermittent renewables such as photovoltaic and wind power are also key to LFP market growth, the company said. Population growth and fossil fuel depletion and other increasingly concerned about the introduction of renewable energy power generation equipment has gradually become the focus.

In addition, renewable energy resources and grid integration in the global increase. In the micro-grid and hybrid power systems, standby use on the use of LFP positioning type battery. For example, the San Nicolas island of the micro-grid using a 1000kWh LFP as a backup device.

The increase in the generation of renewable energy has contributed to the rapid introduction of LFP globally. Among them, the Asia-Pacific region in 2015 the world's overall LFP market transactions accounted for about 58% in the global LFP market has played a leading role.
